PROVIDENCE -- Fire and rescue crews are on the scene of a fire in a three-story wood-framed house.

The two-alarm fire, at 65 Atlantic Ave., is on the second floor of the house, which was occupied at 12:46 p.m., when the call came in.

All occupants have since been evacuated, according to James Taylor, chief of communications for the Fire Department.

A dry hydrant off nearby Broad Street has led firefighters to extend their hoses to another water source, Taylor said.

I was very sorry to read the late story abut this. I hope the house is salvageable, and that the owner had insurance...
